The Moedige Bootvissers boats are copies of the old eel-fishing boats of the Nete, flat-bottomed and with an electric motor. They leave from the Jan Hendrickx landing stage, opposite the beguinage, and in 45 minutes take you from the Zimmer tower to the Spuihuis along the inner arm of the river, with a skipper from Lier who tells you about the city.
